Mouse

An impossible feat
A mouse can’t eat
Something one hundred and fifty thousand times bigger than itself
Yet
I am going to try
I’ll start at the feet
Small nibbles
Each day a little braver
A mouthful a month
Digesting the decades

A sceptic would say
Why try? What difference will you make?
I reply; A smaller beast casts a smaller shadow
